Critic Reviews for The Smurfs: Dreams
The Smurfs - Dreams is a delightful platformer and a fantastic pickup for anyone who loves Mario 3D Land or 3D World. This is very much inspired by it on a surface level, but with more rhythm to its platforming action. It's a trickier game than one might expect given the license, which has usually been used in simpler, less-challenging games. It plays nicely across the board and doesn't have a lot of flaws in its gameplay beyond having a set formula that changes up based on the weapons you have access to in the stage itself and a soundtrack that's hit or miss.
The Smurfs - Dreams does almost everything right when it comes to delivering a solid, enjoyable, and creative platformer. With a wide variety of ideas, some lovely art design, and a gorgeously soothing soundtrack, only its short length and disappointing handheld picture quality prevent it from being considered one of the very best platformers on the Switch. Given its relatively affordable price, it really is worth a look for platforming fans of all ages.
The Smurfs: Dreams is a Smurftacular 3D platformer, with tight controls, a lovely soundtrack, and so much variety in its levels.
The Smurfs return in a great adventure that will take us through the dreams of some of their best-known characters in a varied but very short platformer

With a new installment of the Smurfs, The Smurfs: Dreams becomes the best game in the franchise. A game to enjoy alone or with a friend and be part of this blue and lively world.

The Smurfs – Dreams is a welcome throwback to classic 3D platformers and makes for a good snackable game if you've already played the likes of Astro Bot or the Mario games (or don't have the relevant consoles for them). It'll keep you well entertained for the 7 or 8 hours it lasts and there are plenty of hidden secret collectables to hunt out. Whether you have any nostalgia for the Smurfs or are new to them you could do a lot worse than to have a snooze with the blues.
It may not be the best platformer of 2024, but The Smurfs: Dreams manages to stand out as an ideal proposal for all types of audiences, especially the youngest of the house, with a very enjoyable development, which hooks you from start to finish, and does not stretch unnecessarily.

Visually the game looks good. It is very colorful, and the level themes are really well done. The performance is solid, and the music is whimsical and familiar. The isometric perspective can be an issue at times with planning jumps, but it works for the most part. Developer Ocellus has done a really great job at mimicking the best in the business when it comes to just about every facet of the game.
